About this listen
Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them.
But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.
Join Dr. Allison Friederichs to discover how every single interaction we have is an opportunity to use clear and compelling communication tactics. However daunting or unpredictable the situation, we have the power to strategically choose how we communicate. Every single time. And how we communicate can change everything.
Over the course of 10 lessons, you will have fun exploring words—what they offer us, where they come from, what influences their meaning and vice versa, and how to expand your vocabulary. You’ll learn how to choose the right words for every scenario, and you’ll learn how those words can revolutionize your personal and professional life.

A Good Refresher
This book by Allison Atkinson is a good refresher on communication and choosing the right words in any conversation. I do not believe this is a comprehensive course. I don't know if a comprehensive course will ever be made. However, she has done a commendable job in taking the listener through the aspects of words, how they are used, and the cultural and gender nuances.
In addition, she has also examined a variety of aspects - ethical, political correctness, and the purpose of any communication.
Regard this book as a launch pad to help you dive deeper into the subject.
Her diction is clear and engaging.

A good read
This book is a quick start on better communication for socially awkward people or introverts, who have trouble getting their point across in professional settings due to their lack of practice.

Powerful Communication strategies
Loved the way it has been communicated. Subtle and simple way of explaining each concept. Very relatable to everyday examples of how we interact at work or at home even with kids. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their communication. I realized how many really small things I van change into my way of communication.

Effective
I would not say that it is a very good course but certainly it is effective. It provides a good framework, ideas, and suggestions to communicate effectively. It also makes you aware about different concepts in neuroscience and other areas related to communication.

Research insights
Books like these can be dense and can slow you down if you're listening while exercising or driving. So I listen to this while doing the mundane day-to-day tasks. Book is insightful if you are new to the concept. The author has taken a dry concept and added the magic of story telling that engages you.

it's okay
good introduction to communication. Weirdly enough for a book that is all about language she got a couple of foreign languages wrong. also the book was pulled off from the
Audible library before i could finish it - a few hours too early.
